I took my 2 meter walkie talkie with us this trip for in camp use in Washington and Oregon. Using Repeater Book to program in the repeater stations, I had fun chatting with folks on repeater trunk systems.
Repeaters are put up high and can be reached from many places, unlike sat phones that are beamed with a footprint, or CB units without repeaters.
My Chinese UV-5R is a very respected radio that can be had for just over $50 US, worth every penny. VA7MDD
